# Golang Task Lifecycle Management

[![Go Reference](https://pkg.go.dev/badge/vawter.tech/stopper.svg)](https://pkg.go.dev/vawter.tech/stopper)

```shell

go get vawter.tech/stopper

```

This package contains a utility for gracefully terminating long-running tasks within a Go program.

A `stopper.Context` extends the stdlib `context.Context` API with a soft-stop signal and includes

task-launching APIs similar to `sync.WaitGroup` or `sync.ErrGroup`. This API supports nested contexts

for use-cases where tasks may be hierarchical in nature.
